I was pleasantly surprised to find delicious Vietnamese food in Laguna beach! The food has a fusion take but still has classic flavors that appeal to my taste. My favorite was the pork belly lollipops that were super crispy with a sweet and savory sauce. Staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean with ample seating. We were the only party there for Saturday brunch. Would definitely go back when I'm in town. read more

Saigon Beach - Vietnamese Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Some of the freshest and tastiest Vietnamese food I've had in the States. They take a slightly modern twist to traditional Vietnamese cuisine. My go to foods are the Pho Baguette dip, 420 rice and both soups. Really yummy read more

Great location and the only decent viet place here. The spicy lemongrass soup was on point but sadly the others like beef and chicken pho were all very generic. Would be 3 star if it was in Irvine area read more

Saigon Beach - Spicy lemon grass soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Stayed in LB overnight and wanted to get something close and quick. Drove about 2 min from the hotel and picked up some spring rolls, bahn mi and thai coffees. The bahn mid were good. Spring rolls were good. The early birds were good. Everything was par for the course. Nothing stood out as amazing or must try. But they were pretty good. read more

We might order from this place at least every two weeks because it's that good! Food is always fresh and delicious every single time. Our favorites are the grilled pork spring rolls, pork belly bao buns, dirty fries, wonton noodle soup, and brisket vermicelli (but honestly you can't really go wrong with anything on the menu). Also the Thai iced tea and the early bird are so good! Staff is also always so kind. Def one of our family's favs! read more

Small cute little fusion Vietnamese spot in Laguna. Parking can be found behind and easy to walk too. Vietnamese coffee was strong and good. Spring rolls were very big and tasty. I wish they had a fish sauce for them but otherwise was very good. Papaya salad was the star ! It was so fresh and came with fried wonton chips. Banh mi was really good loved the option of beef over pork. Really good Vietnamese place in LB! read more

Tasty food and drink at moderate prices. The place is cozy and casual and has street parking.

Was very good and very affordable! My only regret was not ordering even more items off the menu lol! The location is very close to the shore as well, after eating i made a 2 minute walk down to the shore read more

Saigon Beach - Vietnamese Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

My wife and I decided to come here on a Sunday as it's been on our list for a while. Plus it's dog friendly and thought we'd spend the evening here with our new puppy. When we got there, it wasn't busy. We just ordered the wings and two bowls of pho. The wings came out first. After 40min the pho still hadn't come out and I was like "hey we should check if they have our order". My wife went in and they said there were a lot of takeouts but our food is coming out. Another 30 min passed and we were fed up. My wife went in and complained. They look annoyed at us as if waiting over an hour was normal. Took them another 15min and they finally brought out our orders. They claimed someone had the same order as us so that's why they messed up. Well the pho they gave us was bland and tasted like they poured hot water in as a filler. Or maybe they just gave us an order that was sitting there for a while. Not something I'd expect for $50 and an hour and a half wait. Overall, terrible experience. Bad food, even worse service. So happy we crossed this off our list. read more

Saigon Beach - Bland Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Been here a handful of times. Amazing refreshing authentic Vietnamese food, quick and easy service, casual dining vibe-- perfect for a casual shopping or beach day in laguna. The food is so good I think about it often, so satisfying and portioned well. read more

My boyfriend and I love this place and always visit here. This weekend we're both having severe flu and thought a hot warm pho would be the best in this situation, but somehow it's spicy which never happened before we can't have it with the sore throat and don't know how to deal with it. Just very disappointed and confuse read more

Saigon Beach - Brisket pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Worst pho I've ever had. The broth was way too salty, nothing could save it. Maybe we came on a bad day

Wanted to grab a bite to eat after a hike in Laguna Beach and saw this place and knew it was going to be so good! The banh mi had amazing flavor as well as the pork egg rolls, which came with a delicious sauce. I would say the banh mi is a bit smaller than usual ones that i've had. The thai tea was also delicious but somewhat of a small serving for the price. There was plenty of seating inside the restaurant as well as a patio in the front with some tables. It's also steps from the beach so that is a huge plus! The employees were friendly. I would definitely come back. read more

Saigon Beach - Pho and beef sliders - Vietnamese Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

They served extremely hot soup in plastic containers that are NOT FOOD SAFETY RATED!!! The plastic melted and burned me.

What a gem! I in here to buy some food to take to the beach and this place surpassed all my expectations! We ordered a bahn mi with pork belly, a chicken green rice, and spring rolls with grilled pork and the tangy sauce. All were oh so good! The spring rolls were plump with lots of meat and vegetables. The bahn mi was also very generously proportioned as well. If Saigon Beach were closer, I'd be a regular! read more

You order at the counter first and they bring the food out. I like that because you can leave when you're finished. The pho was really nice. It's always way more food than I can eat but I imagine most people appreciate that. Id love to have a half order option because the noodles don't stay good as a left over. Tldr good food, ok price, generous portions, calm atmosphere. read more

Saigon Beach - beef pho and veggie egg rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

I've been craving a good banh mi for a while, and this place really hit the spot. The restaurant is quaint and beachy, with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. We got there around 4pm for a late lunch so there was no line and several of the tables were open. We ordered at the counter, grabbed a table number and then sat down. I got the grilled pork banh mi, which came out pretty quickly. The banh mi bread was SO GOOD! So fluffy and warm, with just the right amount of crunch. I haven't been to a place that has been spot on with the bread consistency, but Saigon Beach got it right. The pork was also extremely flavorful and tasted so good with the mayo. I loved eating here and would like to try some of the other fun things on the menu, such as the Coconut Pandan Waffle or Coco Dutch Baby. I would definitely recommend Saigon Beach to anyone looking for a casual and delicious meal! read more

Awesome, the food is excellent. My son and I eat their at least twice a month. Ambiance is great.

The lemongrass soup here really hits the spot: flavor is great with a savory balance of spices and it is also spicy, but not overwhelming so. It kind of reminds me of a bun bo hue, but a but not accommodating to the western palate. The portion size was generous, which is nice considering the prices are typical Laguna beach prices. Don't be expecting Westminster Vietnamese food pricing here! Also there is dedicated parking, (albeit it is a small lot) which is also a plus as real estate is hard to come by in this city. I will be interested in coming back to try more dishes here: if you are interested in a flavorful fusion Vietnamese restaurant and happen to be in Laguna I think this is worth checking out! read more

The food is always fresh and delicious. The owners are amazing and take pride in their restaurant. Please visit this delicious restaurant.

Don't expect traditional Vietnamese. It is much more westernized. That's not necessarily a bad thing as long as it's good. The mint cucumber limeade was good. Very cucumbery. Vietnamese coffee was decent. The food was just ok. The garlic noodles were pretty good. LIke butter pasta with garlic. The pho baguette dip was ok. We had the brisket. Kind of like a bahn mi but with pho ingredients. The pho broth was decent, but it came out without any cilantro, sprouts, jalapenos or lime. When asked for it they said they didn't have any at the time.... they had been closed for a few days for the holidays and didn't get their shipment of fresh ingredients yet.... it just wasn't the same. The sticky rice munchies were also just ok. The veggie crispy eggrolls were so so. At least they have their own parking lot, but be warned the spaces are extremely narrow. read more

It was our first time here! It was friendly and pleasant. We expected an afternoon rush but everything came out very quick. The outside was really nice area to sit and enjoy your meal. I also got the crispy wontons and they were good but not a favorite. My favorite dish was the rice with the chicken, the eggrolls and the pho soup!!!!!! Super yummy overall and good prices read more

if you looking for pretty good tasting Vietnamese food you might want to try this out place out in laguna beach, off of pearl st

The Phos were very very good but the curry chicken is incredible and I need to come back to have it again.

The food was really good, you have to get your own silverware and water but other then that the food is amazing

So hard to find good Viet food in OC!! We did take out so I can't comment on dining inside. It's located in the shopping center next to Mozambique. We tried a variety of items: egg rolls, grilled pork spring rolls, pork belly bao, beef brisket bao, grilled pork bun, shredded chicken banh mi and pork belly banh mi. Everything was good. The grilled pork was not fatty. The chicken banh mi was full of meat. They definitely didn't scrimp on meat. The pork belly stood out the most to me. They also have vegetarian or vegan options, too! read more

This place was super amazing! Ella and Angela who worked and took care of us we're so friendly and welcoming! We will definitely be coming back to the restaurant. Each time we visit Laguna. Give those ladies a raise, they have earned customers for life! read more

What a great restaurant! Friendly service, phenomenal food (I was on a pho hiatus but Saigon beach has officially concluded it!) We got their papaya salad (very refreshing with a little kick), veggie curry (fantastic!) & shrimp pho (the soup responsible for luring me out of retirement). We're already talking about ordering Saigon & a watching a movie in bed soon read more

I came here when I was visiting Laguna Beach, and I really enjoyed this place. Lots of vegan choices, which is always a plus for me. The food was delicious. The inside is nicely decorated and they have an outside patio which is dog friendly. The service was great and he gave us some great suggestions. The parking was easy. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

What a great spot for fresh and flavorful Vietnamese food! The papaya salad was nice and light and the addition of the slightly crunchy caramelized onions was a treat. The grilled pork was delicious and especially crispy - both bread and pork. Definitely looking forward to our next visit. read more

Great location, friendly staff and amazing food. Been here twice over the past few weeks. Can't say enough about how good the 420 rice is. It's essential you have this as part of your meal. The Banh Mi Is great as are the spring rolls. Saigon Beach is a huge improvement over the standard Pho restaurant (btw no disrespect to the standard Pho restaurant) read more

Food was so good. Pho, spring rolls and bao. But the Viet Ice Coffee with sea salt cold foam was the BEST. Service was great. Near corner of Coast Hwy and Pearl St - easy to get to with indoor and outdoor casual seating. We will be back for more soon read more

Excellent service. Servers name was Chloe. Cool crew. Love the crispy wantons. Family fav is the Pho read more

Amazing modernized Vietnamese food! Recommend ordering pick up and walk across the street to the beach to eat with a view! Must orders are the 420 rice, steamed bun pork belly sliders and the banh mi. Dinner menu has a bit more items that weren't available for lunch. Will definitely be back for dinner. Service was good, and food was made in a reasonable time, despite being open for just a few months. Good job guys, please keep up the good work! read more
